Ngati Hine Health Trust’s bilingual early childhood education centre in Kawakawa has won an international building award.
Te Mirumiru won the World Green Building Council’s Leadership in Sustainable Design and Performance trophy.
The building is covered by earth and grass on its roof and unglazed sides, integrating it with the landscape and paying homage to the tribe’s customs and history.
It’s one of only three 6 Green Star buildings in New Zealand.
